Bitcoin price holds above $62,000 as Middle East tensions rise and spot ETF inflows slow.
Bitcoin has come under renewed pressure following the latest escalation in the Middle East. However, the $62,000 support level remains the market's key focus, while slowing inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs suggest institutional investors are becoming more cautious.
A new wave of geopolitical tensions has once again weighed on the cryptocurrency market. The United States launched a series of strikes on Iranian targets following attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, triggering a pullback in Bitcoin.
For cryptocurrencies, the escalation has reduced investors' appetite for risk, increasing the likelihood of further selling pressure.
Against this backdrop, inflows into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs slowed sharply. On July 7, the funds recorded net inflows of just $21.4 million, reinforcing the view that institutional investors remain cautious.

Bitcoin needs to hold $62,000 to avoid deeper losses
As highlighted in our previous analysis, $62,000 remains Bitcoin's key support level in the near term. The market's reaction around this area will likely determine the next short-term directional move.
If sellers manage to push BTC decisively below $62,000 and establish it as resistance, bearish pressure is likely to intensify. In that case, the probability of another test of the psychologically important $60,000 level would increase significantly.
Geopolitical risks keep Bitcoin under pressure
Despite improving market sentiment last week, Bitcoin remains highly sensitive to external macroeconomic and geopolitical developments. The slowdown in spot ETF inflows suggests that institutional investors are still reluctant to increase their exposure aggressively.
If tensions in the Middle East escalate further, Bitcoin could face renewed selling pressure as investors continue to reduce exposure to risk assets.
